Apparently there is someone on the forum threatening violence. As an attorney, I strongly advise the monitor of the forum to remove all posts that advocate any call for violence. This site could be shut down for violating Title 18 USC 2385 which states: Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof— Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction. If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction. As used in this section, the terms “organizes” and “organize”, with respect to any society, group, or assembly of persons, include the recruiting of new members, the forming of new units, and the regrouping or expansion of existing clubs, classes, and other units of such society, group, or assembly of persons.
also why not put in the about page a section committed to non-violence. let the police continue to do that to the people and then see that they are spitting on the foundation of this country, we were founded by protest and its part of our rights as citizens to non-violent protest.
maybe a wolf in sheep's clothing
Tell me who and I'll kick his ass
lol. Had to think about that for a minute.
Agreed, the site should be monitored for those threatening violence and their comments/post deleted. While we may feel anger we cannot stray from the non-violent path, it would mean ultimate failure.
Go figure.....I would have never pegged that one.
I am worried about a person like this showing up at the GA. We have to remain non-violent at all costs or we lose.
